Characters will never look the same, because time passes and companies update or tweak their appearances according to new technology, or re-design them according to new trends and whatnot. Which of them would you consider good, and which of them bad? Which have stood the test of time, and which ones have aged like milk?
I really like KOF99 Athena, she looks quite cute with short hair, and that simple outfit gives her a nice combination of cute and hot. I played the REmake recently and can't believe how well those designs have aged.

SNK sure love tweaking their designs, the whole topic could have been just for them. Starting with the easy shit:
Yuri - getting rid of the braid was a terrible idea, that gave her a very unique look
Yamazaki - very simple tweaks to the original but bare knuckles, white shoes and gold watch do a better job at selling the yakuza style
Kyoshiro - SamSho3 is not a great game but features a sprite work so well done it still looks amazing to this day and part of it is thanks to giving most characters more dynamic redesigns and animations, kabuki actor Kyoshiro is IMO the strongest example
Vice and Mature - KoFXIII handled redesigns terribly, due to budget restraints it reduced every character to his simplest form both in design and gameplay. XIV kinda salvaged the idea of that look but I'll always favor their original designs
Maxima - another where I prefer the original, XIII changed him to be too cybernetic with a lot of lasers and jet boots and shit then XIV expanded on that. I prefer the original, even gameplaywise when he was more about grapples and rekkas with follow ups

Leona's another character who's original design I miss but I think she looks good as is. What I miss the most are all the funky animations like her original s.D, back walk cycle and that kickass intro where she shreds a suit. This is probably what fuels my biggest objection to the 3D iterations, losing all this crap that gives the games personality though, in KoF's case, it already happened with XIII so 3D is not a sole culprit here.

It happened before the N64. From Donkey Kong until Super Mario Bros 2 (Japan) and the cover of Super Mario Bros 2 (USA), Mario wears red overalls and a blue shirt. In the actual sprites of Super Mario Bros 2 (USA) and all the games after it, he wears blue overalls and a red shirt. Of course there are also a bunch of weird pre-SMB things, like Mario Bros on other consoles, where his colors are just fucked up, before they seemed to settle on red and blue being his primary colors at all.
Also, Luigi used to have white clothes and green hair. Nobody noticed when they switched that out for green clothes and regular hair.

I wish they would just tone down that fucking annoying "Smooth and shiny" shit and trying to ape western vidya graphics. At least they toned down that annoying "Characters skin looks like it's been lathered in baby oil" shit in DMC5 and RE2 even though 2 definitely still has some of that baby oil.

To be honest, and probably an unpopular opinion, but I like the default costume design for nu-Kasumi. But then, I have also have a fetish for body suits and latex. Unfortunately she also got a facelift to make her look a bit edgier to go with her new design, and it doesn't really mesh well with her classic outfit. Not as bad Ayami, but still. Again, I'm not really too upset by this (on Kasumi) because I like the change - but I'm also not a customer. I just downloaded the core free-to-play game, and haven't actually bought a DoA title since DoA2 on the Dreamcast. That sure as hell isn't going to change with the turbo-kike pricing scheme they have for DoA6 - so they shouldn't listen to a fucking thing I have to say on the matter. And I can absolutely see where pandering to this direction is going to lead in a few years if it goes unchecked.

Dante's face is perfectly fine, just wish it was juxtaposed with a cleaner costume like those classic composers with scruffy hair dos in those fancy clothes. Also think he should be buffer (that idealized figure talk) but I don't think it hits him as bad as Vergil.
My hottest take on DMC5 is probably the fact I don't hate Nico which was a surprise for me. Some of her lines are funny and how she fangirls/gets all formal to Dante, the ugly duckling aspect is kinda endearing and her being a smoker is amusing because everyone else gives her shit for it. Just a little bit of a figure (maybe ass, Trish is the tits and Lady is the thighs) and remove those godawful tattoos and she's golden. The bird is the worst character followed by Vergil because the whole story boils down to him being a butthurt little bitch.

Add to that the remakes of Halo and Halo 2. In Halo 1, other than looking atrocious, the animations were still primitive since it was just new textures and models and effects slapped on the existing Halo 1 framework so you could "switch" back and forth between classic and nu to wank over "how much graphics have improved". Yeah, works for R-Type… not for Halo. Halo 2 Anniversary has less of an issue with this that I noticed, but what stuck out to me was the sound design - especially the voice actors. They tried to make it more realistic in the art design, but the voices were recorded when Halo was still kind of a cartoonish sci-fi romp, and so the voices were directed to fit the mood of the classic games - but they just sound awful and out of place when you try to make a Michael Bay movie out of them. It's actually painful to experience.
>>16258493
>Like they mixed brutes and elites for no reason.
Why shouldn't they though? We've been trying to mix Humans and Elites for awhile now already. I can see Elite/Brute crossbreeding going on as well. It's just that Brutes are the niggers of Halo, so any Sangheili degenerate enough to fuck a Brute isn't worth wasting superior human genes on, and that's especially true for Elite/Brute mongrel spawn seen in the newer Halos.
Seriously, Brutes are a demonstrably inferior race to even Jackals, the cheap beer swilling/wife beating trailer trash of the Universe. They deserve to be genocided.

The Japanese have characters and designs that I find really appealing, but their tastes can be awful. The West is almost the opposite, with many awful designs and characters, but with better tastes, though it's been phased out quite a bit by current year sensibilities from the vocal crowd.
The Japanese can design a nice character, but you bet my sweet ass he/she'll be ignored by the classic trapping of a bishie, uguu~ Moe girl or the "mysterious" lanky boy/girl. You'll rarely have a Bass being way more popular than a Hayate, to put an example. The West prefers a badass, though it sometimes feels like they do it to avert being the "weird" person that likes the cutesy character or lanky edgy one.

I'm rather partial to Ooba's take on the Wild Arms 1 cast with his designs for ACF. Most of the playable cast is more a translation of the existing character designs through his own stylistic rendering, but the ones that were indeed redesigned still mesh well with the vibe of the game (Boomerang in particular is one of my favorite cases of it, and his original armor design shows back up in the optional arena boss fight against him as well), and in some cases, were most known from their simple overworld sprites anyhow as opposed to 3D models or official art from the time (such as Emma).
Additionally, Sasaki's current stylistic take on the main characters in the series as a whole isn't bad either (WA5 and XF having been his own original designs anyhow), but if you ask me is a fucking waste considering that aside from a few pieces of anniversary art, it's all been for a crossover mobileshit gacha reboot.
>>16256301
Considering how Hirooka is more than capable of doing good design work of his own accord (Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia comes to mind), maybe he either doesn't do well adapting existing designs, or Atlus/Sammy had the final say in how to make the characters look, especially if trying to use them to encourage people to rebuy the original portraits as DLC for additional profit (an issue >>16256501 could well have suffered).
>>16256501
I really don't get why they did that, aside from portrait DLC potential. Little reason to sacrifice detail when putting a game on a more powerful system, but than again, neither it nor Radiant Historia needed remakes anyhow, especially when the system said games were remade for can play the originals just fine with backwards compatibility to begin with.

Xrd does overall feel like GG got Blazblue'd, even the new characters look like they'd be more at home there; all the Valentines feel like a parallel of the swiss army knife chicks and Raven looks like he was created with the BB edgelord as reference (I'm still miffed they didn't give Raven a plague doctor-esque mask, that shit would have looked so cool).
>>16258912
Yeah their preferences don't seem to ever break out of the mold. Speaking of Bass, I don't like how they leaned him in the last games, IMHO the "strong fat" look was kinda cool.
On the subject of DOA, I miss Helena's old looks. Now they slap a Lei-Fang alternate on her and call it a day.

If only, the dudes look more doughy because they don't have a lot of muscle definition. That and a more lean Bass ends up making him look more like a kinda buff dad, but not a huge old wrestler.

Why did Daisy get a weird tan and lose her redhead in some of the Mario Tennis N64 and Mario Party 3 official renders? Was it just an easy attempt to differentiate from Peach and make her stand out with rudimentary graphics? Many have a misconception that Sarasaland is Desert Land which is why she got the tan but the desert is only world 1 (and Daisy isn't even found there), so that can't be it. Also the in-game model for Daisy in Mario Tennis N64 doesn't even have the tanned skin, it's only some of the official renders. In-game Daisy finally does get a hint of her redhead again compared to the official render that is still brunette like Mario Tennis N64.
They changed it back when the Gamecube era came around to be more like her original design and more consistent across the board and that's been her design since.

Xrd's redesigns are universally horrible.

From memory, 1 and 3 had decent combat (although 3's was just generic), while 2 had this ass-backwards zone system made worse by the fact that not every character could hit every zone so some like Ziggy were made completely worthless.
I never finished 2, and I'm almost glad I didn't bother, but I would like to play the DS game.
It apparently has extra scenes that got cut from the original 2.

It's like modern Japanese, for some reason, are ashamed of how manga/anime used to look 25/30 years ago. Not even in remakes they can respect such style. Everything pre-2000's has to get softened, "cutesized" with pastel colors, characters rejuvenated and shit.
For example, here's two classic Gunbuster official artworks and two modern.
